MrWonderful 480 Posted April 16, 2022 It is Jackie Robinson Day today across MLB, and Jackie's widow, 99-year-old Rachel, is in attendance at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles tonight. At her age anything can happen, but given that she's able to attend, I'd say that's a good sign, and she looks pretty good for someone who is 99. Still a good name to consider for 2023 lists, but I hope she makes it a few more years, like one of my great aunts did who made it to 105. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand baseball was still a major part of the us national zeitgeist in the early 90's,so even fringe names from the early 90's Twins might be enough for a Daily Mail copy pasta for clicks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
